We spend so much time on our ambition that we often FORGET that Life is a Journey, Not a Destination.We forget this truth all the time, folks! Instead, we only focus on the destination in life while suffering through the journey part.Your time is your true currency and if you are wasting it suffering through your life trying to reach your goals, then what? More goals to work toward?

Let me ask you a few perspective altering questions:

Have you become a difficult task master to yourself?

Have you allowed business and making money to create security to overshadow having fun and enjoying your time right now?

When is it your turn to be happy and enjoy life?

When is it your turn to temporarily cut off the overwhelming ambition for creating stuff in the future by sacrificing today?

Today is the only day you have – SO BE IN THE PRESENT! Stop worrying about the future. If you do the right things today, the future will take care of itself.Please hear me when I say: Stop beating yourself up!Whether its about the mistakes of the past or any regrets you may have, the past is a locked door and you cannot turn back the face of time.You can, however, learn from the past and create a better future.

How about enjoying the time you have right now? Who knows when your expiration date is?Why not give yourself a break and give yourself permission to just enjoy life and not take yourself so seriously! How much we enjoy this journey depends on our attitudes about the journey.

This is Lee Milteer reminding you to stay in the present because life will pass you by if you do not participate in the journey!

Thought it was time for a little fun this week…I hope you enjoy this “Recipe” for a great life.

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________’
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured IN plants.
5. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

8. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Today I want to talk about the power of complaining! Let’s talk about how complaining has helped you, hint – it hasn’t! But it HAS hurt you. Complaining allows you to focus on things that are not beneficial to you and causes you to be a part of the negative masses. The power of complaining is that it makes you a VICTIM and costs you money. As soon as you start focusing on complaining about what’s wrong with life, your brain is not looking for creative ways to bring you profit or ways to achieve a more beautiful life!

Complaining forces you to be a victim so that you feel helpless, passionless, and without motivation. The power of complaining is so destructive, and yet everyone does it. In fact, its difficult NOT to do it because its such a part of our culture.

Friends, I urge you for the next thirty days to participate in a complaining diet, don’t complain about anything! Whether its people on social media being idiots, bad drivers, the weather, or even the government – don’t complain. If you start complaining you must start the thirty day count over again from zero. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all and watch as your life is enlivened.

With this simple solution your creativity will soar, your health will become more vibrant, your relationships will become better, and prosperity will seek YOU out.

There are a couple of things you NEED to know.

1. Success Is An Inside Job

2. We are self-fulfilling prophecies. What you think and speak into the world will become true for you.

I want you to love yourself enough that you take back your power from the complaining monster and stop letting the external world decide your future.

I’ve been working on my Vision Quest today that is coming up on October 5 – 6 of this year. If you are interested in joining me at this event you can visit my website milteer.com.

This Vision Quest for Profit and Purpose is meant for adventurous people who want to take back their life from all of the drudgery that can bring you down. The negative energy, fear, and doubt that is preying on you will disappear and life CAN get better when you decide to vibrate on an entirely different level and change your focus to the positive.

In fact, focus is the secret! Bottom line: what you focus on always expands.

I hope you’ll join me on my Vision Quest, but, most importantly, I hope you will commit to NO complaining for the next thirty days! If you can do that, your life will magnetize incredible miracles and beautiful things to itself.

Today we’re going to talk about Mindset Hacks for Summer Stress Relief and how to not let it affect you so much. Here’s the truth – it’s summer, it’s hot and some people’s tempers flare at this time of year. There may even be some jealousy creeping in that others have time off and we don’t and it doesn’t seem fair. Life is moving along at faster pace than it ever has before. THERE ARE REASONS WE HAVE STRESS! It’s how we COPE with the stress and defuse it that matters most.

To watch my video click the image below:

Mind Hack #1: When you feel stress, start controlling your self-talk. Too much stress for too long leads to depression. When you find yourself saying, “I’m so stressed out”, “This is so tiring”, “This is so exhausting”, “I cannot do this all”, “This is not fair” you’re going to get even MORE stressed out!

It’s time to change your self-talk. You need to start to realize that you’re not a victim. You have volunteered for some of this stress, so UN-volunteer from some of it. Life doesn’t have to be perfect. It never has been and never will be.

Some Declarations that are helpful are:

I am now calm and cool under all circumstances.

I am in control of my life; I now can let go and relax; I am in control of all my thoughts and actions; I am very effective and efficient in stressful situations.

I love and honor myself; I have a positive attitude that I can handle myself in all situations.

Mind Hack #2: Remember that EXPECTATIONS ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL SUFFERING! If you’ve planned an event, launched a new product or service, hired new staff – then you already know things don’t happen exactly the way you want them or expect them to. That’s just part of life. The key is to prepare yourself and expect that there will be hiccups, problems, and challenges every day and then your stress goes down because you know those things are going to happen. That’s a REALISTIC point-of-view.

The key is to change your thinking to be solution-oriented when challenges arise. Say to yourself, “We will FIND the SOLUTION!”

Mind/Body Hack #3: Another way to gain control over stress is to simply breathe deeply several times. When your heart is beating too fast because of your anxious feelings, controlled breathing slows your heart and allows you to feel in control again. Breathing is also an effective form of muscle relaxation.

Yoga and Meditation are fabulous remedies for a lot of stress. They help you focus on your breathing. This is a great thing because remember, your mind cannot focus on more than one thing at a time. When you’re focused on your breath – you aren’t focusing on the chaos happening around you. This allows you to start to relax.

Mind Hack #4: It’s super-important to love yourself enough to learn the SKILL OF AWARENESS about what stresses you out and what you can do about it. One thing you can do is have self-imposed “pattern interrupts”. When you’re stressed out is not the time to make decisions. Take a few minutes to take a walk, listen to some relaxing music, play with your pet and kids for a few minutes. If you can’t do those then try to get to a place you can be alone. Imagine yourself in your favorite place or a quiet, peaceful location such as in a forest, on the top of a mountain or by the waterfront — a mental Shangri-la. Not only is this an excellent Pattern interrupt but this type of imagery allows you to focus on something beautiful and emotionally rewarding. The University of Delaware has done studies proving that imagining a quiet natural scene in your mind will significantly reduce your stress.

Mind Hack #5: to help you with becoming aware of what stresses you out try these:

What can I do today to get away from the world and just take care of myself?

What can I do to have a good day today in spite of reality?

What resources can I use today to get back to my normal positive thinking self?

What friends can I share my problems with that will be a support system?

What self-talk can I start to use now to change my state of mind?

What areas of my life have I allowed myself to be a victim? What do I want to do differently in the future?

In what areas of my life do I demand that I be perfect?

In what areas of my life am I out of balance?

What activities am I trying to be all things to all people?

What parts of my life am I stuffing my feelings and not venting frustrations?

How can I not take myself so seriously?

One year from today, what will be funny about this situation or my behavior?

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO TO SUPPORT MYSELF?

Mind Hack #5: Give yourself permission to have some positive personal rewards, to appreciate yourself such as: a massage; pampering yourself with a good meal (with dessert); a night out on the town; a hot bubble bath and a glass of champagne; playing Golf or tennis; phoning someone you love to give you a lift; a cleaning service to clean your home. Anything that empowers you to feel like you are special! Always keep in mind that bad days don’t last. This too shall pass. Empower yourself not to let your state of mind control you — you always control your emotions with your thoughts.

Personally, my staff and I have been working very hard on my upcoming launch for Vision Quest Virginia Beach that’s happening October 5 – 6, 2017 and we all have decided on personal rewards that we will allow ourselves to have once everything settles down. We aren’t going allow ourselves to get so stressed out that our relationships are harmed, that we don’t take care of our bodies and get sick or that we lose touch with our community. We’re all looking forward to our own positive personal reward.

Love yourself A LOT more folks! Don’t take life so seriously, no one here gets out alive!
Remember to PACE yourself and remember there’s always a solution to every challenge or problem you face.

Today I want to talk with you about how your earn R.E.S.P.E.C.T. in life. These 10 hacks don’t require any particular talent but boy, do they create massive amounts of respect for you in this world.

Being on Time. This actually means showing up 5 minutes EARLY. Being early gives you time to get yourself put together and settled at your destination before your meeting.

Work Ethic. Make sure what you turn in and what you give to people is beautiful, correct, easy to read, easy to understand and that you’re doing what is necessary to impress people with your work ethic.

Show Effort. Dress up for the occasion. You all know that we make our first impression in the first 33 seconds of meeting someone. In that time, we decide how old you are, what you do for a living, and should I respect you? So, you want to show effort in being on time, how you present yourself and your work ethic.

Positive Body Language. Create and maintain eye-contact with people. Show that you are really present with them in this moment. Make sure you are looking at them – not at your phone to show that you are not distracted by other things. You want your body language to show that you care about them and what they are saying. It’s very important not to slouch and act like you are bored.

Positive Energy & Passion. Make sure that what you say is positive.

Attitude (If there is a problem, there is a solution.) Your attitude determines whether you’re part of the problem or part of the solution. Don’t be a whiner or complainer. Be FOR things not always AGAINST them.

Being Coachable. Be willing to read books, listen to CDs & DVDs, and attend seminars and retreats to continue learning and growing as a person. Show that you are really into growth and expanding yourself.

Doing extra. This is different for each person but it’s showing up and doing something a little extra, above-and-beyond what is expected.

Being prepared. Do Your Research. I just had a new coaching client that a company sent over to me yesterday for an hour and a half appointment and she had no clue who I was or why she was sent to me! I would NEVER hire this person. In fact, if anyone comes to me and doesn’t know anything about me because they didn’t go to milteer.com to find out who I am, I won’t hire them.They aren’t prepared. They know nothing about me and cannot tailor their presentation or discussion.
If you are going to meet important people, look them up on Google. Do some research on them and find something positive about them to talk about so that they know you’ve gone and done a little extra research.

Showing Gratitude & Appreciation. The reason I say that is because the world is so full of an entitlement mentality. You know, the people that think they deserve everything with no effort or gratitude. It is such a good thing to show people appreciation and gratitude. Tell them that what they’ve done in your life is valued and appreciated. Get out a card and handwrite a thank you note. We receive so many texts and emails every day that they don’t hold as much value as writing a handwritten, mailed card does.

These 10 hacks can help you earn respect and people will want to do business with you.
